I would atleast have the new class to use bows/guns, since hunters are now the only class that can use them. So if they decide to make a demon hunter class with bows, it would kind of look more like the diablo 3 demon hunter than the illidan one.

NO! @_@ how about i say i want shaman to start wearing plate and using big swords?

if you want a ranged class then suggest a different class dont go around messing up shit when they are fine the way they are @_@ people like you ruin things for other people

how would you even put a demon inside a gun? wouldnt the demon escape everytime you shot a bullet or something?

By that logic, how do you put one in a sword, or your own body? How does blizz mail me dragons? WOULDN'T THEY JUST BURN THROUGH THE ENVELOPE!?!?

Seriously, not that big a deal bro. You're overthinking this.
3 Specs.
Spec A) Melee that uses warglaives and fel energies to deal damage. For the Illidan fanboys.
Spec 2) Ranged DPS that uses bows/guns and fel energy to deal damage. For the Diablo/DMC fanboys.
Spec the other one) Some other stuff, I don't know. Maybe some kind of healer/buff spec that channels fel energy into your allies to heal/empower them?

Why do people forget about the Dark Rangers? Sylvanis has trained others in her dark arts, they could easily take the DK approach and have her train them during the Arthas thing in a phased starting area where you get all your quests from her right around the time she was preparing to break free from his control thus thrusting some cool story forward. They would use Bows, Crossbows, Guns, Daggers, and Swords. Agility Mail user, Ranged Melee / Spell, Close Combat Melee, and a Dark Arts, healer or a tank.

you take the demon and bind it to the weapon, usually with some kind of magic runes. you then take the demon empowered sword and shove it in your eyes.

thats how demon hunters work. pretty sure if you tried to do that with a gun you would die

because this is about demon hunters. if you want that class thats fine dark ranger would be an ok class. doesnt need to have anything to do with demon hunters

I just don't think Demon Hunters will happen unless they plan on making them use ranged weapons, hunters being the only ranged melee is going to have to be looked at and one of the easiest ways is building another class around those weapon types.

Not that I agree with gun user DH but I just want to correct what you said. There's no record of DHs binding demon into their weapons and as of right now we don't know for sure how the ritual that blind their eyes works.

the rpg books said thats how they do it. if they implement them in game they will most likely use that or just not even talk about how they do it

" These rituals involve capturing a demon and sacrificing it in order to bind a portion of its spirit inside the hero.[2] As part of the ceremony to become a demon hunter, the initiate burns out his or her eyes with a magic blade to entrap a demonic essence within their body. Most demon hunters then bind their mutilated eyes with strips of cloth. In return for this sacrifice, the demon hunter gains the ability to see the world without vision — creatures are visible as dimly glowing forms against a gray and murky background. Demonic energy blazes like burning pitch in the night; the demon hunter sees and recognizes it easily"

the rpg books said thats how they do it. if they implement them in game they will most likely use that or just not even talk about how they do it

But the RPG books aren't canon anymore.
As far as that goes, Blizz could retcon that the blinding ritual doesn't occur until high level, or is even an optional sign of individual devotion. They could even claim it isn't a "ritual" at all, but simply a side effect of meddling around to closely to fel powers. Illidan's eyes were burned from his skull by Sargeras while illidan was imprsoned, not some formal ritual with an orderly protocol.

I know about what rpg books stated but we all know that it's not canon so it's not 100% confirmed.

still blizzard says when implementing new things if theres alot of lore in the rpg books they tend to use it or retrofit it to current lore.

most of the pandaren lore that wasnt brand new was taken from rpg books like their old relationship with the night elves

But they have never stated what, if any, of the RPG DH lore they would keep or pitch. The fact remains that Blizz can make whatever changes they see fit to the class IF they ever make it available to players in the first place. They could even say that the blinding effect is only attained by the most powerful DH's, i.e NPC's only. They may say that warglaives are a measure of rank, again only available to NPC's. They could change whatever they feel they need to for whatever reason they feel like.
